for the good and the infernal circles. If up there, or down there, justice was also a toy... or on the contrary, they were not bribeable.
While the gravediggers did the same, some of the guests came closer to throw flowers that were later covered by the shovels. Marc was not even tempted to make his contribution. Neither was Jesse: instead of paying his respects with a downcast air, he was conversing quietly with Victoria, probably about things that didn't have much to do with her father. The one who did take a step forward was Marlon, capturing the boy's gaze as he tossed a red rose onto the fresh ground. The eldest did not change his face. He just raised his eyebrows, in greeting, surprise, or... who knew what. Then he shifted his gaze to Yuri.
Involuntarily, Marc stepped forward and covered part of the female body. It was not a way to delimit their territory; it was a shield, an expression of protection from danger. That interested Marlon enough to smile subtly. His

"Has anyone ever done it to you?" You told someone all this and they left you? Sabina, maybe?“No never. I have never discussed this with anyone. That's why I need you to give me a second and not go to the fucking door. I have no experience. I'm a virgin in some things and I need…” She took a deep breath, “go slow.Yuri swallowed and reserved comment. She, too, had been a virgin and he had still pursued her relentlessly, although it was a different case because Yuri hadn't told him until a certain point. And from there, he had to say that he had been understanding. Which didn't mean he had lost interest in her. He only held back so as not to make her feel violent. In short, the simile was perfect, because he understood his position and relaxed a little.“Last night I didn't tell you anything about what really happened. Or the effects that kind of life had on me. I summarized it because I didn't want to... I didn't want to go too de

I was just a kid. A malnourished, sick, helpless child, broken with pain, at the mercy of a son of a bitch father, without the only person he loved. Yuri's life hadn't been much easier either.She blamed herself as a child for the separation of her parents, and kidney failure did not help her to fully integrate into the group of girls at the institute, because most of the time she had to study from home. But he had never lacked love. At eleven years old, she was playing dolls with her sister and cousin, running after Caleb through the garden of their house in Barcelona and drawing hearts with honey on the pancakes. And he was... suffering. However, the two of them had arrived at the same place. Now everyone envied him, everyone wanted to be like him.My God, was it possible to love someone so much? For what it had been and for what it was now. I was his number one fan. But she didn't tell him because she could tell from her body tension that she didn't want to talk abo

Yuri knew before opening her eyes that she was in Marc's bed and that he was the one holding her. When he stretched out, he did so with a satisfied smile and trying not to disturb his sleep. He was dying to go to the bathroom, but he remembered that he didn't like her getting out of bed and leaving him alone, and that somehow he needed her to sleep. So he decided to stay as he was. Then she spent a while watching him to wallow a bit in the magic that, surprisingly, only she knew how to do. Give you peace in your dreams.The truth was that Yuri had had many moments throughout her life to feel important. But not in a good way. Of course it was important when he paralyzed the life of his family having to enter a hospital. Aside from the day she graduated or got her first job, being in the limelight had always scared her. She preferred to go unnoticed, to be irrelevant, something she couldn't do because they always ended up pointing to her as the sick girl. Hating to stand out fr

"Let's see if something sticks to you."«Let him cook, if he likes it»."Don't be taken advantage of."“At eight o'clock."Do you want Yasin to take you?" she proposed, resting her hands on the counter; one on each side of her still”open legs. A look escaped the mole. He has fallen in love with you. He will celebrate seeing you again."Then if it's not a bother, great." I like to please men who have feelings for me.Marc smiled as if he had remembered a secret. His mouth came close to her chin, which he licked lazily."You always get dirty when you eat, you know that?" he asked hoarsely."I did it on purpose." To get your attention."You're in luck, because this hotline belongs to you." He does not answer other clients or other calls than yours.Yuri leaned forward and shamelessly placed her hand on his erection. He closed his fingers around the bulge.“Well, I'm going to have

“She... I can't speak for her feelings. But I think she was forced to go through a series of misfortunes that she could have perfectly avoided... If she hadn't been afraid. If I hadn't been alone. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if he had come to see me earlier, when I was pregnant. I don't know if I would be happy, but at least it wouldn't be impossible for me to be happy again. In case it ever was.“Marlon is a psychopath, Yuri. He knows how to pretend that he is a good person so well that it is terrifying. If Veronica bought it, which is the opposite of a gullible person... Imagine what he's capable of. If you ever meet him..."You don't even have to ask me," she said, very serious. I'll use my bag against him.Mark smiled softly.“I would prefer that you change to the sidewalk and walk away."Well, that's how it will be." I have no desire to mix with that man.Marc nodded gratefully. They were silent for a l

Marc stopped by the office to try to work while it was time to meet with the notary, and with Marlon, he added bitterly. It was impossible for her to concentrate with all the things on her mind, nor to successfully complete her tasks without the help of Nick as a secretary or Hugo as an assistant.Things didn't work out either the first or the second. I was trying to work without my right hand being right handed. It had been a stupid impulse to throw Hugo out. She should have at least told him to finish his work, so as not to leave anything undone, and then already hinted that he should take a vacation. The truth was that he did not want to do without him, even if he had behaved like a fool. After all, if she took those liberties it was partly because Marc put up with it from day one. Hugo was just being true to his personality, one that he liked when he interviewed her enough to put him ahead of several brighter candidates. He wondered if it would be late, and how long he wo

"What are you going to do with the money and the house in Jacksonville?"“I will rent the house; That way, if I ask myself for a vacation, I'll know what it means to live off the income. The money... Maybe I'll buy another apartment. Bigger one."One that fits you and... I don't know, Yuri Sandoval?"“She is tiny, she fits anywhere. And it's too soon."Don't tell me you don't want to, rascal."“I'm not saying I don't want to, but you have to let things settle. Not in case it turned out to be a passing whim. I can differentiate an arbitrary whim from... other things, infinitely more important. I just need time. As always. To organize my problems and not touch her or by chance.“What kind of problems?Marc was silent for a moment, looking at his brother. Wentworth should be coming down and as random as it might seem, I wanted to take advantage of that little space to say thank you. A lot had happened in a short s

The afternoon dragged on with Jesse and Wentworth, they insisted so much on him staying a while longer that he ended up letting go of his unfinished business. I could do it. He no longer answered to Moore except in cases where it was necessary for a single authority to take charge. In general they made decisions by consensus. This means that if Marc needed a more or less relaxed day to digest his father's death”or to use it as an excuse and have fun with his loved ones”he had a free hand. To tell the truth, Moore had always been very permissive with his absences because he knew that he did not miss unless it was a matter of life and death. His philosophy was very similar to Marc's. "If you do something, do it because you can afford it." And definitely, Marc could allow himself a moment of relaxation one day after the funeral, without Hugo and without Verónica.Although Jesse had plenty of charisma to distract him “and with Went he made an irresistible
